Wow, so negative LOL. Was thinking the same thing it's back up and will be running as soon as I get my clones from the dispensary. Almost as much as beans, they want 15 a clone o_O

Now now, the thread title might make it seem a tad grandiose,
especially given the rocky start, but that is no call for such noise.
 
Ok got the gorilla grow tent set up, setup carbon filter, and duct it out of the tent and outside. Setup the sentinel dec-4 and input were I want the enviroment. Running pretty smoothly so far ;-) Gonna run at night to keep temps in check and I believe the rate for elect in my area is cheap off peak hours.

I have the sentinel kick on the maxfan 8"(pulls from carbon filter and out the room) to go on when temp hits 78f, and shuts off when its back at 77f. Love max fans they are very silent. Tested for about an hour and works perfect. Havnt even hooked up the othe max fan for the hood. Temps shouldn't be a prob at all :-)

Humidity is a little high, when light is on it went from 73% down to 65% in 1 hr. So when it's dark in tent may have a prob during the daytime. Still have a couple more days of setup and testing to get it dialed in, and it's go boys o_O

Setup the lighthouse 4x2x7 veg/clone tent, best tent imo for the money 100 bucks ;-) put a 6" 250 cfm booster fan in the top. Gonna hang the 900w led (when it gets here) or my t5 in it.

Ducted and setup other maxfan pulling through hood and need to get an 8x8x8 Wye duct connector to tie it into other 8" duct and out the room. Gonna do a smoke test to see if my hood is completely sealed as I do not want any smell to escape.

I checked those out when you mentioned them before.

They do seem well made.

I need a 2'x2' really.

I am thinking of using my two Kessil 350s to power two small, separate
tents. This will allow me to handle males and specialty Veg issues.

Take care,

JD

Purchased the 5x5 before and they are built well for the money. 2nd thickest tent on the market, and there cheap. And they got a foot on most tents also. But if u got the cash get a gorilla, nicest I have used before. Sometimes I just sit in my man cave and stare at the thing lol o_O
 
Got a new toy, my bud is using bottle co2, and had a brand new in box hydro innovations hydrogen pro w/ water gate for drain to waste. Got hooked up :-! Any one have any expirience with these. Herd there the shit. Gonna run it drain to waste. Have to buy a co2 controller, think I'm gonna get there automatic co2 controller. Even if my tent leaks some co2 or some gets exhausted this baby will bring it right back to were it needs to be.

Very cool.

You will need to decide if you are going to drain to waste, use a
large reservoir, or use a small reservoir with a chiller.

This is light-years away from where I am at this point, but oh so cool! :0)

Good luck,

JD

From what I've read drain to waste is the way to go. I'm just worried about temps being to high, even know it claims it gets rid of 87% of the heat with water cooling. I've used bottles before and there a pain in the ass to fill all the time and pretty exspensive to fill. I'll pass this time, lol. Thinking I'm gonna wait to hook it up cause I need to buy a co2 controller and I've invested enough cash into this already with nothing in return. Prob use it next run.
 
Read the instructions on them...I have only used B-52 of those
and I know that it is not used until week 3 of flowering.

Good luck,

JD
 
Well fuk craigslist clone sellers, guy flaked on me :'( but everything happens for a reason. Finally got some good karma after this bad streak. Checked my mail box and I got an order from the tude.

Gonna germ these tonight and hope for the best, and the GDP beans are reg and the whitewidow is fem. So fingers crossed.

Ok so my 2 1200w led panels will be here tomorrow, 720w actual draw. Replacing hps and see what led can do.

The tude came through and my hso blue dream finally made it to me. Germed one tonight hope it pops by tommorow. All 5 I have already going just broke ground. Got the enviroment pretty dialed in. Humidity is a little high, might have to invest in a dehumidifier as I'm in the low 70 which is ok now because of veg.

Anyways will be starting new thread tommorow just for this grow. Stay safe RIU.
